Abstract(s)
The mail goal of the present study is to understand the relation
between academic competence and social competence in students
from elementary school. The participants were 75 3rd grade students,
aged between 8 and 10 years old, from public and private schools in
the northern Portugal. The sample included students with learning
disabilities and students with high academic competence, identifi ed
by their teachers. The results highlight a strong relation between academic
competence and social competence: students with learning disabilities
have a signifi cant lower level of social skills and higher level
of behavior problems than students with high academic competence.
The results also showed that students with learning disabilities are
strongly rejected by their peers.
This study emphasizes that children with learning disabilities have
diffi culties, not only in academic skills, but also in the fi eld of social
skills. This kind of fi ndings should be considered for understanding
and intervention.
